CRESTVIEW - A woman tried to force her way into another woman's house, attacked the older woman while carrying a child in her arms, and pulled off the older woman's "artificial hair," according to an arrest report.

On Dec. 4 the Crestview Police Department investigated an incident in which an 18-year-old Crestview woman went to a Bess Avenue residence and tried to force her way inside. An older woman who lived at the residence tried to defend herself but was struck in the temple by the invader.

The younger woman also pulled off the older woman's "artificial hair," according to the report.

The younger woman was trying to enter the house to collect items she believed belonged to her. The report described the alleged victim as the "grandmother of the defendant's child" and said they'd lived together in the past.

Witnesses say the young woman launched her attack while carrying a child in her arms.

She was charged with child abuse and battery. Her court date was not available.
